It's time to go back to Westeros! The season premiere of "Game of Thrones" hit HBO (and totally crashed HBO Go) last night, but in case you didn't get to catch it and still want to sound informed around the water cooler, here's everything that happened, by location:
KING'S LANDING
Jamie Lannister's got a brand new hand, and a brand new sword.

We don't know much yet about J.J. Abrams' upcoming "Star Wars" sequel, but the film's production team is already hard at work. According to Disney's chief, the project is underway, even though the screenplay has been a bit of a problem and there are still some holes to fill in the cast.

So, maybe Don Draper doesn't always get the ladies...
In anticipation of the premiere of the final season of "Mad Men," this little gem surfaced on YouTube today. It's a video of Jon Hamm on the dating show "The Big Date," which aired back in the 90's, when Hamm was just 25 years old.
And it is fantastic.
Hamm, in his full 90's floppy-haired glory, vies for the affection of a girl with a self-professed foot fetish.

Musical chairs among the hosts of late-night talk shows is nothing new. Seems like barely a week goes by when a host is not leaving his or her show, starting a new show, or moving to take over someone else's old show. But when David Letterman announced this week that he'd be retiring next year, he touched off speculation about a potential late-night shuffle the likes of which we haven't seen in decades.

It's a perplexing problem: why are so many people eager to see Marvel movies at the theaters, while fewer and fewer people are willing to watch Marvel characters on TV? This week, "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" tried to solve the problem by cozying up to the soon-to-be hit movie "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." Did it work?

There was a time when you could watch "Titanic" as often you wanted to on Netflix, but those days ended months ago when the blockbuster hit disappeared from the service's streaming catalog. Now it's back, along with a selection of huge hits from years past.

In the absence of the entire Avengers line-up, movie goers will have to be satisfied with Black Widow, newcomer the Falcon and Captain America this weekend. It looks like that will be good enough for most ticket buyers, and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is set for a massively successful opening weekend.

Get ready to say goodbye to Bon Temps.
The season seven teaser trailer for "True Blood" is out today, and it isn't all that uplifting...in fact, it's downright morbid.
The teaser takes us through a graveyard, showing us gravestones for many of the Bon Temps residents that we've lost over the years. That includes, of course, the recent death of Terry Bellefleur, who is the second-to-last grave we see.

In an effort to wiggle out of a lie, Pete lies more, and tells Diane that he and Kate are in therapy. They take this free time and use it for fun, before Jackie and Diane catch on.

What a difference an edit makes!
After the finale episode of "How I Met Your Mother" ended, Facebook and Twitter—nay, the whole Internet—was mad about it. And so were we.
Rightfully so, too: Not only was the episode unnecessarily sad, it also seemed to argue semantics to deliver an ending that fans were told repeatedly over the past nine seasons they wouldn't be getting.
